Windsurfing: Aberystwyth - South beach by harbour Wind Direction: N - NNE Wind Stength: 15mph - 5mph Surf / Sea State: relatively flat (1 -2 foot cho Air Temperature: 12C Sea Temperature: too Cold for my hand Weather: Sunny/ showers in the vicinity Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Decided to get a windsurfin session in as xc weather was showin sum nice
strong northerlys. Bongo rigged a 6.5 with the Techno and I rigged a 5.5
this time with a Bic rumba hoping that the wind out there would be
somewhere around 20mph as xc wetaher said.
Got onto the water bout 4pm and the wind had totally dropped. The wind was
very inconsistent again as sometimes the wind was prob 3 or 4 mph and then
pick up to a steady 15mph. Managed to get onto the plane a few times and
then the wind would suddenly drop to a complete standstill. I was drifting
further and further downwind all the time until the wind picked up briefly
which meant I didnt have to do the walk of shame as I was able to tack
back.
Bongo was practicin loadsa light wind maouveres whilst I attempted sum as
well but found it hard with the very light winds.
Eventually came in at sunset as the wind was weakening all the time.
Giving it a 3 stars as the weather was gorgeous - especially sailing up
until sunset. Would be going out tomrrow if there was wind. Just hope the
forecasts are wrong and its blowing a hooly but it'l be quite uinlikely.
